Black, Hispanic, Asian and mixed-race births made up 50.4% of new arrivals in the year ending in July 2011.

The nation's minority population now makes up 36.6% of the total US population

Well isn't that a crushing statement about Minorities being more likely to live in poverty.

I guess we're a minority when its us white honkeys versus all the rest. Smile Your thread title is a tad misleading, ever thought about a career as a journalist at one of the big three? They would like your style! Blink

EDIT: I guess it's not really your fault. The BBC article title, while a little more descriptive, might still lead the average reader to believe white births in America were a minority compared to one of the other major races, not all races combined.

So close...

Meh. Whites have been a "majority minority" in some parts of the US for a long time.

I say, good. Maybe eventually the crazy people will stop trying to convince me that I'm somehow to blame for the misfortune of others simply because I was born with pale skin.

WTF? So "white" is one demographic and "all the rest" is the other?

That is pretty stupid.

Not to worry, we've integrated into their groups and mated with their women... in time our differences will be forgotten

I'm not bothered about races at all but i am worried about this.

In the UK sharia law is trying to be forced through by muslims etc, in about 20 years time i think it will become reality, due to the overwhelming muslim voters..

I hope this doesn't sound racist or anything..

It's the birth rate, not the overall population.


It's ironic when you look at whose tax dollars are paying for these births.

Given real freedom to keep your own money and nobody getting special treatment, not only would there be no news like this, but nobody would have to care either.

This is what I like about EvE. Everybody has guns and nobody is getting special treatment at the expense of someone else. But hey, the game is developed in a country that just forgave most bogus mortgage debt and kicked out the banksters. Obvious pattern is obvious.

There is a problem with the math of most racial stats, specially in the US. What is a "white" baby? Is an Argentinian white baby "white"? or is it "Hispanic"?

Color, Nationality and Native Tongue are different things. Therefore, white babies are not a minority... "American English-Speaking White Babies" might.

PS: Being a racial/national/linguistic potpourri myself, I'll always be a minority regardless of who's making the most babies :P

I may inform you that when Iceland "forgave most bogus mortgage debt and kicked out the banksters", they did so "at the expense of " the foreign banks to which they owed that debt, and those banks in turn had to be rescued "at the expense of" something like 350 million EU denizens.

So now you got 350 million people paying for the "special treatment" of some 320,000 formerly viking dudes living in an icy rocky Island.... and I hope you catch the irony.

Yeah, Iceland stuck up for itself and kicked out the frauding banks. A good real viking initiative. And why should the people pay the debts of private owned banks?

You are very delusional if you actually believe that the rest of the EU citizens is paying for the debts for others, including the Greece people for instance. You really need to read up on how the banking actually system works, and check some real data on how the money flows.

Every nation should aspire to do what Iceland did.
